interview / Liz Rice McCray
Dear reader,
We have been smitten with internationally recognized artist Conor Harrington for years... tracking his artwork across the globe from Dublin, the United States, U.K. to Norway, Spain and back again. When the opportunity was presented to interview him we jumped on it. Harrington is well known for both his street art and his gallery works. His paintings blend classical elements and contemporary art with old and new references, detailing urban influences and underlying commentary not necessarily about the past, but a metaphor for the world today. Harrington has had solo exhibitions at Lazarides Rathbone in London, The Outsiders, Stolen Space Gallery and Kinsey/DesForges in Los Angeles, among many other galleries. Conor Harrington is an Irish born painter who is currently living and working in his East London. Many thanks Conor for taking the time to answer our questions.
